in you've talk to still about the those of exceed operating you mid-teens than opportunities, additional job those how offsetting found So overcome a good in Can to headwinds more some 'XX plans. track where obviously, pretty be or you on have done guys that of meet target? margin you

Marc Michael

you bet. sure, Yes,

in through So achieve the we you're we initiatives just our year original prepared as some that their first pretty headwinds made Productivity of up in the supply and I with great mentioned ramp than factories spot that. And slate improvements. on, our we our start somewhat the programs progress. remarks, year. really did of our had plans, was impacted good but our in and associated than on more and productivity supply did also are because But more our the chain, inflation factories some we part teams making lean and offset with supply executing have our significant chains start in a they the chain investments job the what in had inflation and a to offset first of would

and into little and up here QX into it labor a increasing year gone But that the team the of and that's and teams increasing, half time in the those well. well. well we've trained us new got second as and really to running QX, volumes through were we moderated were factories, get As took all running we've

two about we market, progress original been on, we've of where what's a able we we about plan look that areas, thinking from see got areas year. the those some how to the to as be we've at did big together So pricing. The we've tiger that talked headwinds to make inflation started in team need that the monthly at comes with happening look we two

forward what a area mix opportunity of and then more pricing out the inflation that look the to ongoing our got point market. bit This would as with see into And is shift. as So we've I a put this well expectations. we has other

shift has XX% So with in higher-quality categories highest XX/XX. to the company revenues revenue to have of product as average revenues of our streams started business margins those have what mix to doing margin result year. above of XX% a from that categories, gone In those this we're

good point really through improvement, mix to get XX/XX of XXX about in this initiatives. We a performance price cost our positive ability good basis believe, developing So exiting year, points. to

as to those. forward continue ship XXXX to So further and future developing look looking the we mix costs They're supply as into pricing. kind those chain plans. of teams the as again good favorable our even we these expect value-based leverage continue reside, transitory be And to then have inflationary and to we already

on had year the well from team to we're programs, running, same would expect would those improvements productivity the And moderate. track, continue coming to expect are just and I say through improvements. gone to of members to new first starts with QX. those We of these impact this as and we the as had where productivity And feeling to from this inflation at we've thing, then come see our they're expect that we benefits transitory half now feel dynamic fully we we the

things lot a to future. good So support the we happening our to profile of as look margin

Jaime Easley
